Patent number: 8155795Abstract: A demand control system 1 according to the present invention includes a CPU 41 and a power database 45. The power database 45 stores actual data in a state where the actual data are classified according to environmental conditions, the actual data being based on a consumption integration value of power actually consumed by the power consuming device. The CPU 41 calculates a predicted integration value of power predicted to be consumed in the demand time period, by using contents stored in the power database 45 at a start or before the start of the current demand time period. Further, the CPU 41 lowers a power target value when the calculated predicted integration value falls below the power target value being a target value of the power to be consumed in the demand time period.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2008Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: SANYO Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Atsushi Ohuchi, Tsuyoshi Kawaai

Publication number: 20030058608Abstract: In a parts mounting apparatus wherein a plurality of feeders each storing one type of parts are disposed at predetermined positions and as a mounting head moves, electronic parts unloaded from the feeders are mounted to a printed circuit board at a plurality of mounting points, movement time for the mounting head to move from the respective mounting points on the printed circuit board to the respective feeders is calculated, the total of the movement time calculated for the respective mounting points is calculated for each one of the feeders, and one feeder which is to store the electronic parts is determined based on the calculated total time. As the electronic parts are stored in the determined feeder, this ensures that the mounting time for mounting the electronic parts to the printed circuit board becomes the shortest.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2002Publication date: March 27, 2003Applicant: SANYO ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Atsushi Ohuchi, Takuji Sugata, Yoshio Ozawa
